Did you know that your tires count as a safety feature? Since those rings of rubber are the only parts of your Kia that ever actually touch the ground, they're largely responsible for your car's ability to move safely, smoothly, and efficiently. If your tires aren't in good shape, there's only so much your brakes and the most cutting-edge driver-assist features can do. That's why treating your car to regular Kia tire service is so critical. Fortunately, we can help with all your tire service needs here at Napoli Kia!
Basic Tire Maintenance Tips
Your tires are immensely important, so it's a good idea to stay on top of regular tire service to ensure that they stay in good shape. Keeping up with tire maintenance can also make your tires last longer, so you don't have to replace them as often.
Here are a few of our top tire tips:
- Tire Pressure Check: Your tires need the proper level of air pressure to perform at their best. Too much or too little air can cause your tires to wear out prematurely, shortening their lifespan.
- Tire Rotation: Tire rotations help to keep the level of wear on your tires even by switching up their positions on your vehicle. This service often involves swapping your front and rear tires to help promote even tire wear, which can help your tires last longer.
- Wheel Alignment: Normal everyday driving can cause a slight, gradual wheel alignment shift. Hitting curbs and potholes can also knock your wheels out of alignment. Driving with poorly aligned wheels can do a number on your tires, so it's a good idea to have your alignment checked regularly.
